Christmas (and the Heat) can wait

Derek Fisher isn't looking ahead -- and past Milwaukee -- to the Christmas Day game against Miami. And he said neither are any of his teammates.

"Saturday is a long ways away and I think I could speak for everybody (in saying) that there isn't anybody on the team that has their Christmas shopping done, so we want Christmas to stay as far away as possible because we still have some work to do on that front," Fisher said Monday.

"As far as looking past the Bucks, I don't think it's something we've done much this season. I can't think of one game -- maybe one game -- where we didn't respect our opponent and come out and do the things we are capable of doing. I think it will be the same tomorrow night."
